The Salt lake Tribune lists the Cats as a possible trade partner.

I heard on the Jazz boards of a trade like:

Okafor/Nazr
for
Boozer/CJ Miles

I have tried it on the trade machine and it does not work with our current roster. Since we are not picking up May offer and Singletary, then this trade may work. By not signing them it would free up some cap room to make the trade work.

i didn't mean that was the rumored trade....i just put what some Jazz fans were talking about.
Obviously other players/picks/cash may be involved

Great move if we could pull it off, Okafor's contract is too big for a short center. Boozer could provide so more fan base b/c of his ties with duke.

The only potential problem is that we would have starters in Wallace(6'7") Diaw(6'8") and Boozer (6'9") but if we moved diaw to our bench and plugged in diop as our starter then we would have a great and more balanced team

if the deal went okafor/radman for Boozer/filler then the lineup could look like this

felton/ augustin
raja/ henderson
wallace/ brown
boozer/ diaw
diop/ nazr/ ajinca

Wallace is one of my favorite Bobcats of all time, but if he could net Boozer in return, then it is in the best interest of the team to make this deal.

Okafor/Boozer/Diaw/Bell/Felton
Diop/Radman/Miles/Henderson/Augustin

That looks great to me.

I don't like it...Boozer is good, but Diaw is better, and maybe even Mek at this point in Boozer's career...

but ILBIT.

I would do the trade with Wallace for Boozer. I like Wallace but Boozer is too good to pass up. The only problem is that we would only get Boozer maybe for one year. Utah is going to need a guy like Wallace to defend the Kobe’s and Roy of the Eastern Conference. The East is only getting better so we need all the help we can.

What if we could trade Nazr and Bell for Boozer and Brewer. This works in the trade machine and I don't think they are to high on Brewer the way Kobe used him in the playoffs. I really think they would do this deal because they would have the Kobe stopper on their team and they are going to loose Boozer for nothing. Bell and Cj Miles would be the sg inwhich they have a young gun and a vet. Brewer doesn't shoot the 3 ball but he would allow us the comfort of having some size in the backcourt and he has a descent midrange game.

That's the only decent offer on here I've seen, Boozer has wayyyy low value for them because he's going to walk and they want something, plus he's just a rental for some other team. they get a solid big man in Nazzy and a starter caliber player in Raja. We get a great backup to 3D and depth.

Wallace? Seriously? WTF.

No way in hell that deal would ever go through. but if it did it would be the best possible deal we could make. Get rid of Nazr's contract and acquire Boozer in the process. I guess we just need to hope to god Henderson can perform right away in that situation. again no way thats the best deal they could get for Boozer... but jesus it would be nice.

I wouldn't trade for a 1 year rental of Boozer and I think that Daiw is more valuable to us at the 4 spot than Boozer would be.

I completely and 100% agree with you...Unless we shed Vladi/Gana/Nazzy in the process and don't give up any of the core.

I agree with you guys that Diaw is pretty freaking good. and boozer gets in the way there. But am I the only one who thinks Boozer / Okafor would be a really good match? Not the tallest sure, but those guys arent thin bodied lightweights either. and we played with Diaw all last season in that spot so we know a lack of height can be worked with. I think it would be ying-yang down low. Boozers offensive ability coexisting beautifuly with Okafors defensive prowess. Diaw as sixth man. I love Diaw... but thats depth not many teams can say they have.

Diaw as sixth man.

That's what got him pissed in Phoenix...and that was a championship caliber team...

There are cheaper back ups at pf than 9 mill. Trading Diaw would be the next move. Maybe send him to NY for Jefferies and Lee.

Diaw's not a backup...he was one of the best forwards in the East last year...

and I don't think NY is keeping Lee. And both have D'inflation...

I wasn't saying he's a backup but with Boozer on the team I would prefer Boozer start because he is aggressive around the boards as Diaw isn't. We could get someone like Lee who has already been a backup come off the bench.

With wallace, we don't need an agressive PF

It wouldn't hurt our second chance pts, or rebounding where we could then get out on the break.

Hell naw we have Diaw and IMO is better than Boozer,we keep Diaw forget Boozer don't let numbers fool ya

Lmao@ people talking about "get rid of Nazrs contract". How about get rid of Diops contract? which is like 10times worse. And hell no to Boozer for Wallace. Who should play starting center then? Diop? That would be horrible. Besides from that, Utah wont do that deal because they are loaded with wings.

This is like Bonnell listing teams that we "might" could move Emeka to. Just something a journalist threw out there.

Yet, it means so much more in the parallel universe of trade speculation, where posters on fan boards propose trades that are then discussed for pages and pages, as if real.

If you want a cheaper back up PF than 9 million dollars you might want to leave David Lee's name out of the conversation!!

It's exactly the same...but usually when it's put in an article like that AND the way the article was worded on RGM's wiretap it appeared to be a viable discussion; i.e. "Jazz Have Possibilities For Boozer Trade (http://basketball.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/60352/20090705/jazz_have_possibilities_for_boozer_trade/)"...when in reality we don't know that there are possibilities with us.

Do you or anyone else see us giving Boozer a contract next season at 16 per a year?

Yeah, but there's a difference between a columnist hearing from a legit source what the trade talks are and people on here just throwing out ideas.

Again, I don't really care about the "what ifs" so much as the OMG! reactions some people have as if the deal is going to happen.

As for Boozer, I'm wondering if he'd stay even if we offered that. Again, with a trade, we'd be losing an important piece to get him. I'm just not sure we're a talent for talent trade away from contending.
